Pros

Longtime newsroom employee who loved working with talented colleagues to cover the community. Opportunity to advance within the company. Digital and front-end system tools provided by corporate were decent.

Cons

Greater demands and shrinking staff. High-performing properties have to pay for the debt incurred by the stupid decision by Lee to purchase Pulitzer. Little recognition of the stress this places on the newsroom and how it hurts the product.

Pros

None that I know of.

Cons

Poor benefits, 70-hour work weeks, constant fear of staff reductions, community calls daily complaining about the lack of news. I could go on forever.
